Hi. I have been giving some of the students advice on this site. When I first came on to the site I didn’t realise it was in fact a students room. Sorry. My point is……. My age. I am 60 years of age. Am I not too old to be answering youngsters questions .
Not at all. I'm 64 and as a retired teacher and current examiner / moderator, I have a lot of relevant advice and guidance to give. You will probably be in a similar situation.
Not at all! It's designed for students to get help. If you have relevant advice to give then I'm sure the person who made the thread will appreciate it!

I am not qualified in anything though. Just a mother & grandmother who has retired early If this is ok I am happy to give my advice.
Age does not matter. However, there is a saying that where an old man can see when seated, a young man cannot see when standing.

Thats fine, but try and only give advice when you are sure of the answer.
There are plenty of helpful TSR users providing advice who are in their 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s and 20s. 
Some are mature students.
Others teachers, uni lecturers, examiners or the parents of students/graduates.

Nope not at all. I'm half your age, but I think you can give your knowledge and experience to anybody who needs it. People such as yourself are very important on this forum I would think.
